I think I should chime in here gtorx7 had a little disagreement with 7club not sure if hes on here now. as for the fb its still the shops parts runner. daily driven no real issues at all. as for hp he was thinking about a new exhaust should make some more hp after thats done. about the video's I can ask him but I dont think he has any uploaded right now.

Well, that's a shame. He seems like a good guy. I guess the "Collections Hold" status under his avatar has some sort of meaning. Damn...
I wasn't even aware of his show until finding this thread last night. Here in the Detroit area, land of the Muscle Car, there are NO rotary shops. Bonzai used to be here years ago, but Chris moved the operation to Indy. Well, his shop, in Columbus, is "only" 3 hours away. I guess that's an improvement!
I'm running a stock engine in a clean car and been looking to find more hp. This thread caught my eye, as I'd like to gain power without having to do a turbo swap. Sounds like GTO's car really pushed that putton!

Any one know the rules for SCCA pro 7?
I am getting a 86 RX7 that was built for SCCA racing. The guy that I am getting from calls its a Pro 7. It has coilover and not sure what can or has been done to the engine. It's non turbo but can I change it to turbo? It think it's class EP with out the turbo. I haven't been around SCCA racing since 1968 when I went to racing sprint cars and dirt Modifieds till 1988 when I retired from racing. Or I thought I retired the dam bug bit me again. If anyone out there understands SCCA roadracing class's and what I should be looking for please fill me in. Thanks

Yeah I am still around, just added a period to my name so I can post at least
Apparently if you dont want be a vendor anymore, your name gets banned for life too. Harsh if you ask me. Anyway, only update at the moment is the car ran over a big rock and dented the muffler, which led to the muffler blowing a hole in it. lol. So I took the opportunity to chop it all off and make it all nice and stainless
Shooting for some more power once I get some time for the FB again!

Ah the old thread has been brought back to life. Well, in the most pure goal of the 1st gen always being the "test mule", progress for more power street ported has temporarily been placed on hold. Sure a new exhaust and some more tweaks I have learned this past two years would put it strongly in the 240-245rwhp..... but its still fighting the good fight at 230 wheel.
SO..... lastest update....... the engine was removed! Now dont think bad thoughts, it is for a good cause. And no she is not blown
After 45,000 miles of 9,000 rpm daily, we removed and tore down the engine to see how it was holding up. Answer? Freaking great! Pre-mix and proper clearancing has kept this sucker looking nearly like when it was assembled almost 4 years ago! Side iron wear is getting high now, otherwise perfect from top to bottom.
Look at this poor sucker, looks like I left it at the bottom of the ocean! Winters in ohio and never popping the hood will do that I suppose. Hard to believe this makes 230wheel any day of the week. lol.

I will be adding some pics of the engine tear down, and the super badass (or should I say super ugly) header that was on it.
Plans for the engine-
Test mule's engine was tore down to get some real testosterone placed in it.
Rotors will get milled to 3mm and side clearancing done
Stationary gears actually upgraded to the FD factory hardened ones
Race rotor bearings
Taper the journals on the eccentric shaft
New oil pump
Carbon apex seals
Semi p-porting![Wink](https://www.rx7club.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
ITB's for the p-ports
All new exhaust system using all the latest tricks
This should make for a baby version of my 3 rotor. Or aka 275+rwhp
More development will be done with intake setups to further promote the 20b power
Unfortunately the engine will not get placed back into the 1st gen
It is finding a new home in this FD! Our rental track car!

Plans for the 1st gen chassis-
Getting a FULL factory 6 port engine. BUT with semi p-port! The 1st gen keeping with time honored tradition will be testing out un-charted waters with the power of semi p-port combined with factory non-ported engines. 6 port will be first, then TII based so on so fourth.
So there you have it! Always something going on here at Defined Autoworks

Nice, that's going to be a great combo. ![Nod](https://www.rx7club.com/images/smilies/nod.gif)
One question though. Why are you going with 3mm apex seals, when 2mm apex seals are lighter? And if you really want the most power, go with the 2mm 2 piece ceramic seals. Very light and will produce more compression than the one piece.

Hahaha, you like that? I was too lazy to fab up a new filler neck and figured I never needed to check or add oil anyway.... lol. Unbolting two bolts every 3-4k miles isnt too hard

I am pretty excited to try as well. Guess I should rephrase and say "lightly treaded waters" with the idea, haha.

I might only see an hour's worth of high RPM use per year, but it's all that driving in between that gets me. I don't want to use another set of Atkins seals, they aren't very housing-friendly and after about 50-60k they have no low RPM compression because there isn't any more spring tension on the seals - the seals are worn out where the springs ride.
